Do you know how many pairs of socks that I have donated over the last couple of decades to clothing charities? I do not mean to imply that socks for charities are not a worthwhile cause, but gift socks on Father's Day have become passé. Other popular gift ideas that fall into this "same old gift" category include fishing gear, golf accessories, car stuff, and sporting gear. Mothers and children might think that dads are easy to please, but we have become more complicated in our needs and desires. We have matured and while we still appreciate the manly gifts and the big boy toys, we thrive on loving gestures of appreciation and respect. Unfortunately, these Father's Day gifts are not marketed through conventional advertising and they are not readily available in the big box stores. These gifts of love must come from your heart.

Dads deserve and appreciate your respect

Men our proud by nature and we deserve and appreciate your respect. We might not be the perfect dad, but we want to wear the "number 1 dad" tee shirts and we want to be recognized for all the good things that we do. We need your understanding and acceptance that all behavior makes sense, especially when we let you down or when we do not meet your expectations. We inherited our fathering traits from our dad and we are developing our parenting skills through "in-family training". You can help us improve our fathering skills by encouraging us to become a better dad to you. We are open to your suggestions, as long as you respect our role as the provider and protector of the family. We want to be your friends, but dads instinctively know that we have to prepare you for survival with daddy discipline and tough love. For instance, "no means no", because we care about you and because we have seen or experienced the consequences of bad decisions. If you need proof of this, just check out our old high school yearbooks.

Be a good kid and make us proud fathers

The best Father's Day Gift that you can wrap up for us is to be a good kid and make us proud fathers. Our pride soars when we see you accomplishing an important goal, achieving a high mark, landing a great job, helping someone in need, or simply doing the right thing. It shows us that you listened to our good advice or that you decided not to repeat our mistakes. Your success in life becomes our success in fatherhood and we need to celebrate those victories together. Raising children can be challenging in our busy society with too much information available in the palm of our hands and too many bad role models roaming the streets. Good kids are precious gifts to fathers, families, communities, and our global neighbors. Good kids tend to grow up to become great parents and great parents tend to raise good kids. Generations evolve through awareness and action, so this year pick a Father's Day gift that will honor your dad and benefit future generations. It is okay to throw in some cool socks, as long as your dad does not wear them out in public with the sandals that you got him last year.

The one-chip computer button designs program and the circuit

In the application system of the one-chip computer, the button mainly has two kinds of forms: 1, Direct button; 2,Code keyboard of matrix. Receive one I/O of the one-chip computer on the mouth alone each button of the direct button, the direct button, through judging the electric potential of the button port can discern buttons are operated; And the matrix keyboard cross through the ranks button codes are discerned. Now we study the one-chip computer to dab the application of the button in the one-chip computer system with the direct button on board of S51 enhanced one-chip computer experiment.

Fig. 1

First, button time sequence analysis

Usually buttons used, in order to dab the mechanical switch, the joint of the button is disconnection under the normal situation, when we pressed the button, because the elasticity of the mechanical contact acted on, a key switch will not be put through while closing steadily at once, will not break quickly either while breaking. Therefore the mechanical contact, with the shaking of a succession of at the fleeting moment of closing and breaking, the intersection of time sequence and picture the following of button 2 show, shake size of time decide by mechanical characteristic and attenbant’s button movement of the button, it is generally 5ms- 20ms; The button was decided by the accident of pressing time of the attenbant’s button to closed the size of time steadily, it is generally from a fraction of a seconds to several seconds.

Dab the button and operate the sketch map of time sequence

Fig. 2

Can see from we in Fig. 2 above, intact hitting the key course, include following 5 stages:
1. Wait for stage: The button has not been pushed yet at this moment, at idle stage.
2. Front Close Shaky stage: The button has been just pushed at this moment, but the button signal is in shaking state, this time is generally 5~20ms. In order to guarantee buttons will not act by mistake, there will be a piece of front to disappear and shake and delay time.
3. The steady stage of the key: It is already over to shake at this moment, an effective button movement has already been produced. The system should carry out the button function at this moment; Or write down the key value that the button corresponds to, carry out when the button is released.
4. And then along Release Shaky stage: Generally speaking, it should be when do to investigate some procedures once again here and disappear and tremble and prolong, in case act by mistake. However, if in the front ” stage that the front shakes ” If you can’t disappear, tremble by appropriate time delay,can neglect on the this stage.
5. The button releases stage: Already been over along shaking after at this moment, the button has been already in totally releasing state, if the button is adopted and released, carried out the function, can carry on the relevant cnc vertical lathe treatment that buttons are operated at this stage.

Second, we come, study button, scan programming and the intersection of button and software disappear shake programme through several the intersection of experiment and the intersection of example and Cheng under the the intersection of button and the intersection of experiment and the intersection of example and Cheng, compare with the experiment, give everybody a more perceptual understanding through these.

1,The button K1 controls LED indicator lamp experiment: This procedure controls LED on P1.0 to kill bright through the button K1 on the experiment board. The procedure function is as follows: The indicator lamp puts out when it is on to push the indicator lamp when turning on or off K1, push again. Dab the intersection of button and K1, control the intersection of experiment and the intersection of example and Cheng of indicator lamp ‘ There is no software to disappear and shake and deal with

The experimental result is analyzed:

ORG 0000H
AJMP START ; Jump and turn into the initialized procedure

ORG 0033H
START: MOV SP,#60H ; SP initialisation
MOV P3,#0FFH ; Initialisation of port

MAIN: JB P3.2,MAIN ; Find whether the button K1 has been pushed
CPL P1.0 ; Carry out buttons to order, change P1.0 indicator lamp state
JNB P3.2,$ ; Wait for the button K1 release
AJMP MAIN ; Return and measure buttons again END

Because has not carried on the software to disappear and shake to delay time to deal with in this experimental arrangement, when we burn the procedure to write that run on the one-chip computer, press K1 and control the killing bright of LED many times, send and control not very steady, probably according to ten times, it is wrong that there are LED LED output states 2 to 3 times.

This is the reason why because there is no software to shake, shake in the front of the button or and then along while shaking, pulse of shaking and mistake carry out probably the intersection of procedure and detection, this moment whether button is press and unclamp N time, the intersection of output and state of LED change the intersection of N and time already too, unclamp state of LED one random result behind the button.

2,The improved button K1 controls LED indicator lamp experiment: This procedure controls LED on P1.0 to kill bright through the button K1 on the experiment board. The procedure function is as follows: The indicator lamp puts out when it is on to push the indicator lamp when turning on or off K1, push again.

Dab the intersection of button and K1, control the intersection of experiment and the intersection of example and Cheng of indicator lamp while being improved ‘ Subdue shaking to deal with through the software

The experimental result is analyzed:

ORG 0000H
AJMP START ; Jump and turn into the initialized procedure

ORG 0033H
START: MOV SP,#60H ; SP initialisation
MOV P3,#0FFH ; Initialisation of port

MAIN: JB P3.2,MAIN ; Find whether the button K1 has been pushed
ACALL YS20ms ; The front shakes and delays time to disappear, realize the software shakes
JB P3.2,MAIN ; Measure buttons again, if is the high level, shake
CPL P1.0 ; Carry out buttons to order, change P1.0 indicator lamp state
JNB P3.2,$ ; Wait for the button K1 release
AJMP MAIN ; Return and measure buttons again

YS20ms:
MOV R7,#40 ; Time delay 20ms subprogram
YS1: MOV R6,#229
DJNZ R6,$
DJNZ R7,YS1
RET

END

Because front in button shake software to go on 20ms disappear and shake to delay time to deal with in the experimental arrangement this, we burn the procedure to write that run on the one-chip computer, press K1 and control the killing bright of LED many times, it is very steady to send and control, will not control the wrong phenomenon.

Through this experiment, can find out it is still very important that the software shakes to delay time, disappear and shake for time of time delay generally among 5-20ms, practical application obtains and delays time best according to the experiment at time.

When it unclamp about button this procedure and then along shaking if you can’t disappear, shaking, if in requiring very strict system, delay time to deal with along subdueing shaking after proposing increasing, so can guarantee the button will not be produced and acted by mistake.

3,The button with button sound effect scans the experiment example one: Following button scan the intersection of experiment and the intersection of example and Cheng have software disappear, shake function, also have button sound effect, as pressing for K1- K4 time of button, the button number will reveal on the digital tube on board of experiment, can hear button sound at the same time.

Choice of the independent photovoltaic systematic storage ba

A foreword

The development at full speed with social economy, energy consumption increases continuously, the environmental problem is outstanding day by day, developing, using solar energy as new energy becomes the trend of the times. Solar electrical energy generation does not need fuel, have pollution-free, safe, noise-free, run advantage which other regular energy institutes such as relative extention and sufficient, long life of reliable, resources do not possess simply. The photovoltaic energy is considered to be most important new energy, recyclable green energy in the 21st century. Solar energy it is very extensive for solar cell system to employ, can be divided two major kinds into while being unusual according to applied form: Independent photovoltaic system and incorporating into the power networks the photovoltaic system. Among them it is relatively extensive that the independent photovoltaic system employs, visible sun expert’s torch, solar energy street lamp, solar energy charger,etc. are this kind of system in daily life.

The independent photovoltaic system is generally made up of four basic parts: Photovoltaic cell array, energy-storage system Storage battery , direct-flow control system, supporting, as shown in Fig. 1.

The independent photovoltaic system of Fig. 1 makes up

In the independent photovoltaic system, the function of the storage battery is mainly stored energy, in the evening or climate situation that it is cloudy,etc., when the photovoltaic array can’t offer sufficient energy, the supply load of the storage battery, guarantee systematic normal operation. It is the important constituent element which is second only to the photovoltaic array of solar energy, it is one of the parts exerting a largest influence on reliability of system performance, system cost too. It is in a situation that normal operation of the security system, maximum service life, high limit lower costs how this text discusses, for the system selection of independent photovoltaic and confirming the parameter is rational, storage battery with appropriate quantity.

2 storage batteries of choices

1 Method

The selection procedure of the independent photovoltaic systematic storage battery mainly includes three respects: Storage battery kind, capacity of the storage battery and series parallel determination of the accumulator battery.

The storage battery kind is numerous, mainly have lead-acid battery, lithium ion storage battery, nickel-hydrogen battery,etc.. At present, because factors such as the technical maturity of the products and cost,etc., use the nickel-hydrogen battery in some small-scale and simple independent photovoltaic systems, but it is less to employ; Use the lead-acid battery in most independent photovoltaic systems, it is extensive to employ. The country has also made GB/T22473-2008 standard that ” stored energy uses the lead-acid battery “, the requirement for this kind of lead-acid battery products for the norm. The content under this text is based on lead-acid battery.

Capacity of storage battery choose, relate to a lot of factors, have day the intersection of load and demand, the intersection of storage battery and the intersection of maximum and depth of discharge, run number, install the ambient temperature of ground independently mainly.

The battery capacity of the independent photovoltaic system, can still support the lasting normal operation for a fixed period of time in a situation that illumination of the sun is lower than mean value continuously in security system. In a situation that the illuminance is lower than mean value, the electric energy that the assembly of the solar battery produced, can’t totally supplement the daily load demand from the consumed energy and vacancy of production in storage battery, in this way the storage battery will be in loss state. If the illuminance is lower than mean value, the continuous discharge of storage battery, in order to supply the loaded need all the time for a fixed period of time, the charging state of the storage battery drops continuously. But in order to avoid the damage of the storage battery, the course of such discharging can only allow to last for regular hour, until the charging state of the storage battery reach the safe low value the most, namely the depth of discharge of maximum of the storage battery. We will last discharge time to call here: Run day, the intersection of photovoltaic and the intersection of system and the intersection of storage battery and the intersection of supply load and number of normal operation in case of not having any outside energy independently.

The determination of operating days independently mainly relates to two factors: Photovoltaic systematic meteorological condition of installation site ‘ Serial overcast and rainy days of maximum , the important intensity supported to the application. Usually we regard the serial overcast and rainy days of the maximum of the systematic installation site of photovoltaic as the independent operation days of the photovoltaic system, consider supporting the important intensity to the application synthetically at the same time. Important photovoltaic application system as to application, important departments, such as communicating, hospital,etc., must consider independent operation of system number longer, generally consider as 7-14 On day, the battery capacity corresponded to is needed bigger too. As to other the intersection of photovoltaic and application system of application, independent the intersection of operation and day of system, and correspondent the intersection of battery capacity and magnitude can be confirmed according to the actual conditions.

A foreword

The development at full speed with social economy, energy consumption increases continuously, the environmental problem is outstanding day by day, developing, using solar energy as new energy becomes the trend of the times. Solar electrical energy generation does not need fuel, have pollution-free, safe, noise-free, run advantage which other regular energy institutes such as relative extention and sufficient, long life of reliable, resources do not possess simply.

The country has also made GB/T22473-2008 standard that ” stored energy uses the lead-acid battery “, the requirement for this kind of lead-acid battery products for the norm. The content under this text is based on lead-acid battery.

Capacity of storage battery choose, relate to a lot of factors, have day the intersection of load and demand, the intersection of storage battery and the intersection of maximum and depth of discharge, run number, install the ambient temperature of ground independently mainly.

The battery capacity of the independent photovoltaic system, can still support the lasting normal operation for a fixed period of time in a situation that illumination of the sun is lower than mean value continuously in security system. In a situation that the illuminance is lower than mean value, the electric energy that the assembly of the solar battery produced, can’t totally supplement the daily load demand from the consumed energy and vacancy of production in storage battery, in this way the storage battery will be in loss state. If the illuminance is lower than mean value, the continuous discharge of storage battery, in order to supply the loaded need all the time for a fixed period of time, the charging state of the storage battery drops continuously. But in order to avoid the damage of the storage battery, the course of such discharging can only allow to last for regular hour, until the charging state of the storage battery reach the safe low value the most, namely the depth of discharge of maximum of the storage battery. We will last discharge time to call here: Run day, the intersection of photovoltaic and the intersection of system and the intersection of storage battery and the intersection of supply load and number of normal operation in case of not having any outside energy independently.

The determination of operating days independently mainly relates to two factors: Photovoltaic systematic meteorological condition of installation site ‘ Serial overcast and rainy days of maximum , the important intensity supported to the application. Usually we regard the serial overcast and rainy days of the maximum of the systematic installation site of photovoltaic as the independent operation days of the photovoltaic system, consider supporting the important intensity to the application synthetically at the same time. Important photovoltaic application system as to application, important departments, such as communicating, hospital,etc., must consider independent operation of system number longer, generally consider as 7-14 On day, the battery capacity corresponded to is needed bigger too. As to other the intersection of photovoltaic and application system of application, independent the intersection of operation and day of system, and correspondent the intersection of battery capacity and magnitude can be confirmed according to the actual conditions.

Meanwhile, change see Fig. 2 because the nominal capacity of the lead-acid battery will vary with the temperature ,When the storage battery drops in temperature, the capacity of the storage battery will drop, so install the temperature is very important to the capacity which confirms the storage battery. If temperature of person who install lower, the real required battery capacity should be larger than the required battery capacity under normal atmospheric temperature terms, could guarantee to meet the electricity consumption demand supported on condition that influence the life time of the storage battery. Most lead-acid battery manufacturing enterprises will generally offer the temperature of the associated storage battery – correction curve of capacity. Can find the correction factor of battery capacity of the corresponding temperature on this curve.

Temperatures and capacity relations of Fig. 2

Synthesize the above-mentioned all influence factors, can get the systematic battery capacity formula of the following independent photovoltaic:

Japan’s load demand Ah *The independence runs on days

Battery capacity =———————————— 1

Depth of discharge * of maximum Correction factor of the capacity

The series parallel determination of the storage battery concerns the determination of the cell quantity directly, depend on the battery capacity of systematic working voltage, monosomatous nominal battery voltage and capacity and system that calculates.

Systematic working voltage mainly involves the output voltage of the solar cell module, working voltage of the rated operational voltage and load of the control device. The ones that realized with systematic working voltage were matched by series connection of the cell. The system connects the quantity of the storage battery in series to calculate as follows:

Systematic working voltage

Connect the cell in series to count =———————– 2

Monosomatous nominal battery voltage

The battery capacity divided by monosomatous battery capacity of the system that the quantity of parallel connection of the cell is calculated is got. In real application, should try hard to reduce and connect the number in parallel, preferably choose the high-capacity cell in order to reduce the required number of parallel connection. Because the uneven phenomenon of the electric current will take place when charging and discharging in the parallel cell. The more parallel numbers of groups are, the larger the unbalanced possibility of the storage battery happens.

2 Embodiment

According to the above-mentioned formula, use a solar energy street lamp system and is regarded as the example. Suppose the light of this sun energy circuit bends over system load as the LED lamp of 24V, 60W, the working time of every day is about 10h. It is not a very rigorous system that this is one metal working cnc vertical lathe supported to power requirement, we choose the independent operation days of 6 days, and use and circulate the battery deeply, the depth of discharge is 80%, monosomatous nominal battery voltage 12V, nominal capacity 200Ah. It is 15 to install the ambient temperature of ground- 25 suppose the capacity does not need to revise under this temperature . Thus can have:

Japan’s load demand: 60* 10/24 =25Ah ;

Battery capacity: 6* 25/0.8* 1=187.5 Ah ;

Need cascade connected cell to count: 24V/12V=2 only ;

Need parallel cell to count: 187.5/200 =0.93,Fetch the integer as 1.

So the number of storage battery that the street lamp system of this solar energy needs to use 12V/200Ah is: 2 connects * in series 1 is connected in parallel =2 only .

3 concludes the speech

Generally speaking, behind selected the intersection of storage battery and kind, according to day the intersection of load and demand, run day, the intersection of maximum and depth of discharge, install the intersection of ground and temperature information data and above-mentioned formula independently, can be chosen and confirmed the capacity magnitude of the independent photovoltaic systematic storage battery and quantity of storage battery. But in real application, will consider other factors in choice of the battery capacity, such as the installation site, if consider the maintenance cost, safeguard the periodic reason in very remote area, must use the battery capacity larger than calculated value. So photovoltaic isolated system choice of storage battery theoretical calculation and cost other result that factor weigh synthetically.

Embedded intellectual apparatus test research approach Dave

A preface

The intellectual software Agent can carry out the particular task for users, have intelligence of a certain degree, execution some tasks and software procedures that interacted with the environment in a suitable way that can be independent. Such characteristics as Agent has independence, responsiveness, learning ability and social. This makes it suitable for making the prompt response under the highly dynamic environment.

Embedded technology and of new generation the intersection of mobile communication and development of network make to emerge embedded intellectual a large amount of apparatus. The support that mostly have the embedded operating system of these apparatuses, and is operating the increasingly abundant application program. How to test the application program, become a subject needing to study. This text introduces Agent technology in the test of the embedded intellectual apparatus, use the goal apparatus Agent, test controls Agent, the network environmental Agent differentiates simulation and deals with and test the apparatus, tests the engineer and tests the complexity of the environment, utilize the characteristic that Agent has, have put forward the method tested in an effective automation.

2 relevant research and thinking herein

Independence, responsiveness, learning ability, characteristic such as being social Agent have, make it suitable for, deal with, test problem in the system while being complicated very. Apply Agent technology to testing the field has some relevant research, the following is the concrete introduction.

Jeongeun Choi and Byoungju Choi [1 ] have proposed a test tool based on Agent technology, it deal with by using users in the interface Agent and tester mutual, use and test that go on and test the choice of spending example through the way that the example chooses Agent, and use and return to test Agent to test, thus very good automatic software test of realization. But the test that they put forward chooses technology to only choose best using the example in a large amount of existing test with the example with the example, can’t reduce and write and test the complexity of using example.

Others have studied and applied Agent technology to the test of a certain field. Yu Qi, David Hung and Eric Wong [3 ] have proposed a method of testing of Web application program based on Agent technology. They use Agent technology to reduce the complexity tested in network application. Their method is not merely suitable for the test of Web application program, is suitable for the test of the embedded intellectual apparatus too.

In testing the course actually, task that the tester is very great is still to write various test and use the example, want real raising and testing efficiency, will raise the commonability to test script soon, reduce the change [2 ] to test script [4 ]. The common embedded intellectual cnc vertical lathe apparatus tests tools such as TestQuest Use picture than judge the intersection of goal and state of apparatus coming, though the method realize test of person who invade, but two problems exist:

The picked and consumed and tested resources with conveyance in a large amounting of the picture.

Different the intersection of user and the intersection of interface and style of mobile phone change greatly, this make, test script need, go on, maintain to script when for carrying on the apparatus newly test.

However, in the real apparatus, when the important incident happens, the system will produce the sensitive incident to encourage the relevant module to deal with. It can catch incident in the course of testing it is sensitive in these,it is can getting more high-efficient test. And, so long as the operating system is the same, the capture way of the sensitive incident is the same, test that will not be changed because of change of the interface with the example. This text is abstract and catching and testing the sensitive incident in the course with the goal apparatus Agent, and send the sensitive incident to testing that controls Agent. And after test controls Agent to receive the sensitive incident, according to one’s own knowledge, adopt the mechanism of corresponding movements if unusually deal with, manage testing etc. again Deal with. This can just be regarded as deducing the rule of Agent, one that is with Agent is intelligent to shield the complexity of testing the course. In addition, at complicated network in the environment, we utilize the intersection of network and environmental Agent come the intersection of control goal and network signal that apparatus live in in view of the intersection of goal and apparatus, thus realize that lives in the control of the network environment to the apparatus.

3 test systems based on Agent

3.1 Ensemble architecture

The final goal of examining the system is to realize one moves the automatic test platform with terminal figure, can be with employing one floor of software to set up module, reusable test script storehouse to the system software on moving the figure terminally, raise the efficiency that various black boxes test, the production of the automatic test result, and realize the playback of the test result.

The battery can also be played in this way, the papyraceous

With the change of science and technology, ” rich people’s bulbus oculiUeye ball ” Products too constant come out.

According to matchmaker’s report on day, one research group of Japan Osaka university has already succeeded in researching and developing a kind of solar electrical energy generation battery made of paper at present, its manufacturing cost is only 1/100,000 of the ordinary solar battery. What products in environment protecting mode this is! It is reported, this solar battery made of paper cnc vertical lathe made timber paper pulp, silver conductor arrangement and organic matter up, compared with making the battery with glass, have bendable characteristic of processability,etc. folded, more superior.

According to the report a few days ago of website of Japan ” Mainichi Shinbun “, in order to guarantee the light transmittance, usually the solar energy panel uses the diaphanous glass or plastics. The associate professor of scientific research institute of industry of university of Osaka can have refined wood to lead the research group to use vegetable fibre of the wood pulp as raw materials, process through compressing, succeed in researching and developing the thickness and only having 15 nanometers of apparent material, and regard this as the base plate and change organic material and conductor arrangement of photoelectricity to imbed with the pressure, thus make papyraceous solar battery.

It is said, ” pasted with paper ” The photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar battery is only 3%, the transfer ratio of using 10% to 20% of solar battery that inferior to generally generating electricity far, but is similar to solar battery of glass substrate, and portable and apt to use, manufacture is simple, the cost is extremely low, it can be practical a few years later that the developer hopes.

IWatt can control LED of 32 LEDs to drive IC to release Dav

The news a few days ago, according to other matchmaker, U.S.A. iWatt Company released to control LED of 32 LEDs to drive IC ” iW7032, this product is used mainly for driving the video back illuminating light source of the liquid crystal. According to the introduction of iWatt, through increasing controllable LED listing and integrated MOSFET, the cost of part BOM: bill of materials Drive spy camera IC to reduce more than original LED. The maximum of service voltage of every LED is 56V. Each one can connect LED about 15 pieces in series, so iW7032 can drive 480 LEDs to add up to. Look on as direct voltage Vf The intersection of LED and heterochronism, have function of service voltage listed to LED to self-regulate also. In this way, the electric consumption reducible 2- 5W of each iW7032. According to this company, Japanese famous TV manufacturer has already applied iW7032 to the products.

This company original LED drives IC to control 16 LEDs at most. So, needed to adopt 2 LEDs to drive the use of IC to adopt one iW7032 and finish this time in the past. In addition, original LED drives externally positioned one MOSFET on each LED of IC, but iW7032 disposes MOSFET, so does not need externally more positioned MOSFET. “We introduce into and deal with MOSFET to send Technology iWatt alone of heat . While adopting one iW7032, BOM is reducible 1- 3 dollars, the area of printing base plate of the module can also be reduced by half at the same time.

IW3072 has three kinds of modes of real time control LED luminance. For example,in “Local Dimming mode under,in not lasting video contenting dark for picture,last back illuminating light source the luminances of LED. Still support to specially direct against three-dimensional 3D 3D mode and ” Scanning mode of reducing to glimmer etc. that video “. The sample price of iW7032, while buying 1000 in batches, each pricing is 3.80 dollars.

nike and Experience Spartan World Championships With a 14 Ye

I sat on the steep hillside with a 5-gallon bucket of gravel between my legs, protecting it from spilling. This was just a temporary stop to collect my strength as I climbed up the Killington, Vermont ski run. It was a brutal reminder that ski slopes are for skiing down and that is it! This same obstacle was my biggest challenge at my first Spartan Beast several months ago in Utah. The sight of a bucket now makes me cringe. Descending the hillside, with my bucket in my arms, I thought I might actually cry. As I dumped my gravel into the bin at the end, successfully completing the obstacle, I said to myself, “Pull yourself together, you still have a long way to go.”

Show Time

I had no idea this race would be so hard. Standing at the start line, I felt welcomed amongst my new Spartan family. I appreciated the cheers and well wishes from my fellow racers as my name was called?to the start line of the Spartan World Championships. I found myself standing amongst some of the world’s greatest athletes. There were Olympians from around the globe as well as Xterra, USTAF and Trail World Champions, Professional Obstacle Course Racers, Adventure Racers, triathletes and marathon winners. This talented group of athletes, including the Spartan Pro Team, will be featured in the NBC Sports Network TV special about the World Championships nike on?October 19th.

Given Spartan’s history and the presence of NBC TV, most of us assumed we were about to embark on the toughest, most grueling 13-mile course ever designed by Spartan. Little did we know how humbling the day would be—the steep climbs, cold water and grueling course would sideline even some of the world’s most fit athletes.

Climbing & Descending

The first part of the course was mainly a steep never-ending trail climb up the hills of Killington Ski Resort. I was happy with my selection of running this course in my I knew there would be a lot of serious climbing so I chose to stay on the lighter side with my shoes. I had done my last Spartan Beast in my Newton All-weathers. The unique lug design of Newton shoes is not only great for forefoot running but also provides great traction on these difficult courses. Spartans were once again falling, slipping and sliding on the steep descents and I was able to keep my footing. There were a few walls and round hay bails to climb on our way up, which is always fun.

Living and training at 7,000 feet in Park City, UT, as well as only carrying 98 pounds on my small frame, was a great advantage on the first part of the course. I was surprised to find myself hanging with many of the elite females for the first six to seven miles. It was only when we encountered the heavy obstacles, that their more adult bodies became a huge advantage for them.

Two-thirds My Weight

Upon reaching one of the few black diamond ski runs at Killington, I peered up the steep slope.? As far up the mountain as I could see, it was just a stream of racers carrying something. As I approached a pile of sandbags, I quickly realized there was only one size. Many of the weighted obstacles at Spartan Races have female and male sized weights. This was the World Championships, though, what was I thinking.?There was no time to stop and think. This was a race!

As a competitive athlete, you learn to improvise as you go. I wasn’t sure how I would handle this heavy obstacle but knew I just had to get moving with it. I grabbed my sandbag, tossed it up onto my back and began the long trek. I would alternate carrying the weight on one shoulder, then the other. When both shoulders got fatigued, I would place it evenly across my upper back and neck.? The one thought I had the entire time was, “Why is a 14-year-old girl carrying what a grown man is carrying?” At the time, I had no idea I was carrying 60 pounds, literally two-thirds my body weight. All I knew was, “It was heavy”.? It was only after the race, that I had learned the actual weight we were all carrying.

Burpees & Perseverence

The Hercules Hoist gave me my first set of burpees. A cement bucket is hooked to a pulley system.? You must use a rope to pull the bucket up to the top. As I started to hoist the bucket up, I would quickly find myself being pulled up in the air as the bucket returned to the ground. “You got to be kidding me! I’ve done this before. This cement bucket must be heavier than my last race.” After being lifted off the ground several times and only getting the weight half way up, I realized Hercules would win today. I?immediately started doing my 30 burpees.

During the entire race I was reminded, “I had it easy.” I was not carrying a tumor, like my new friend,?. He is 32 years old and living with an inoperable brain tumor, yet not letting it slow him down. I had two healthy legs unlike the amputee that crawled up the entire Killington ski slope on his hands and knees or like the female amputee who stood at the start line with me. I was able to just be at the event, unlike??and many others that left this world too soon. It wasn’t hard to put my pain aside and persevere.

Having previewed the course the day before, I knew the water obstacles would come at miles seven and ten. Seeing all the water on this course, I also knew I wanted a shoe that had great drainage, not one that would hold water. I had poured water in my Newton trainers prior to the race to see how quickly it would drain out. Unlike many Spartans, I was not intimidated by the water, but rather excited. As a two-time triathlon??I had been battling it out in the water since I was five years old. I didn’t take into account, however, how much wearing shoes affected your ability to swim. I was especially glad I didn’t wear a hydration pack like so many did. It would have been yet another thing to weigh me down as I swam across the frigid water and climbed up the rope climbs.

Tarzan & The Tyrolean Traverse

The Tarzan Swing was nearly impossible! I heard of only one female who made it successfully across. This obstacle consisted of ladders and ropes suspended from a bridge in the middle of a lake. After swimming out and climbing up to the top of the bridge, there were about five or six little ropes. One had to swing across these ropes to get to the bell. I made it across two ropes then fell about ten feet into the lake. ?As I swam to shore, my only thought was, “I think I’m turning into an ice cube.” As I crawled onto shore, it was burpee time again.

Next up, the Tyrolean Traverse. Imagine a rope suspended across water; a kids dream, an adult’s nightmare! I may have moved slower than Sid, the two-toed sloth, but I made it! I hung below the rope with just my knees and elbows draped over the long rope that spanned the freezing cold, irrigation pond for the ski resort. There was no way I was going to fall off that rope, swim to shore, do 30 burpees and then have to reattempt it again. It was pretty intimidating seeing Elite men wrapped in a foil blanket at the edge of the water, hypothermic and unable to continue on. Today, the Tyrolean Rope would separate the winners from the losers. All I could think was, “Just hang on!” I have some great rope burns on my arms to show for my effort.

Pushing Beyond

The Spartan World Championships pushed me farther, mentally and physically, than I have ever been pushed before. However, with this being said, I know I have not reached my limit. There is always a take home lesson I learn from every race; whether it is a triathlon, a marathon, an aerial skiing competition or a Spartan Race. Spartan reminded me how crucial the mental component of a sport can be. Even if your body wants to give up, you can usually mentally keep pushing on and many times your body will recover. If you give up mentally though, it is over immediately.

For many, crossing the finish line?on Saturday?was the end of their race weekend. Placing first in the world in the 19 & under open division and 28th?amongst the elite females was perhaps my greatest accomplishment ever. However, the most important race to me was actually the next day. For the first time, Spartan offered a charity race. Beat up and exhausted but willing to do it all again, my team of five athletes,?, set out?Sunday?morning to try to capture the Spartan Charity Race Title. Our team raced for the 1 in 6 men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer, the cancer that took my 40 year-old-dad from me when I was only 9-years-old.

We were expected to navigate a two- to three-mile course, with the fastest three times from each team counting. Seeing some of Spartan’s best obstacle course racers smiling at the start line?Sunday?and getting their “Spartan On” for something bigger than themselves was a great sight.?These guys and gals went out with revenge and were ready to give everything they had left for their cause. Although Team Winter took 2nd?place by only a few seconds, we were proud to stand on the podium as one of the top five teams in the world. Each team took prize money home for their charity and most importantly raised awareness for their cause.

Spartan World Championships was great training as I headed into my sixth marathon on October 12th on New Zealand’s Great Barrier Island—my second to last continent on my world marathon tour for prostate cancer awareness. Keep following Newton for my next race report!

The rains began the week of September 9 in Colorado, and they did not stop. By Wednesday evening, residents in the small town of Lyons, Colorado (with a population of just over 2,000) were being asked to evacuate their homes. Among those living in Lyons were triathlete, Chris Legh, with his wife and two daughters, who split their time between the small town and their native country, Australia. At this point, Legh was just one month out from competing in the 35th Annual Ironman World Championship—a race he has said will be his last as a career triathlete.

As the severity of the flood revealed itself, Legh’s first reaction was to forget about Kona and to just help out. But as the National Guard moved into help, residents were asked to leave. There wasn’t much they could do. In Boulder, the roads for riding and trails for running, were now damaged and closed, and many swimming facilities were shutdown. This was no longer an ideal place to train. Legh and his family went first to a friend’s place in Vail, Colorado, before deciding that their best move was to go straight to Kona. We caught up with him in between training in Kona.

Can you tell us about Lyons and the flood?

Our house was better off than most people. For us, it wasn’t a really bad situation, but we realized we were stuck in town and couldn’t get out. A lot of people in town were really messed up. Main Street survived quite well, but the two main businesses that were hit hard (The Fork and St. Vrain Market, Deli & Bakery) are owned by two of our really good friends. We lived in Lyons for 8 years and we were there before the market and the Fork were upgraded. They are iconic places in town.

Everyone has to deal with mortgages and make sure their businesses survive. We just learned that the Montessori School our youngest daughter goes to will be shutdown for good. And our other daughter’s school has been temporarily moved to Longmont.

What were your thoughts on leaving?

I hated it. I knew people needed help. I almost lost my motivation to train because I wanted to help. But the only thing really that made it easier to leave was when I realized I couldn’t do a lot, we pretty much had to leave. It wasn’t possible to stay. But we all hated leaving our street and our town. I love the community.

What were your options?

Initially we went up to Vail. We had an option to stay up there and figure out what we were going to do. We were very lucky. Then we decided to head to Kona. I almost didn’t want to tell people I was going to Hawaii because it really doesn’t seem that important right now. But since I couldn’t help, I figured I might as well go do my little race.

Why is this race a big one for you?

It’s likely this is going to be my last race. I mean, it’s probably the last time I will call it my career in a sense, in terms of it being my occupation. I’ve been racing professionally for 22 years, I’ll always do something. I’ll never stop competing in something. But in terms of it being my occupation, this is going to be my last race.

Hawaii was the attraction for me to get into the sport. I had the itch to come back and race it one last time. Luckily, Melbourne Ironman went well for me. click here Then I did Coeur d’Alene, Calgary, Lake Stevens, I just had to chase points for a couple of weeks.

Pulmonary edema has limited your racing, how are you feeling about it?

No one can give me an answer. I can be racing as hard as possible or by myself and it can happen. In the Melbourne Ironman earlier this year it didn’t happen. No one can give me an answer. It’s happened everywhere with no correlation to altitude. At Vail, I’m fine. It’s bizarre to know there’s a good chance you can’t reach your potential. I’ve raced long enough to accept it if it happens. Fingers crossed it doesn’t.

What are your expectations for Kona?

If I have the problems I’ve had in the past, it won’t be an ideal ending. If I’m racing well, I’ll have a smile on my face. Then I’ll walk away having enjoyed being here. I’m at a point in my career where I enjoy it and realize there is no real consequence in my performance. It’s a nice place to be. I’m sitting here now in Kona and I love it. I’ve been here and hated it.

So, if Kona is your last race, will you return to Lyons?

We were enjoying Colorado, but that’s the shame of it. We’re from Melbourne and Lyons was my one chance to live in a small town. We’ll go back to Lyons after the race, if we’re able to get back to Lyons. We’ll pack and fly home to Australia.? We’ll come back next year, sooner rather than later and finish off the school year.

But going back to Australia and the beach isn’t a bad option.

Do you have any words for Colorado right now?

I hope things improve. I know a lot of the family situations aren’t fantastic. I hope the businesses can survive and we can have our great little town back. More people need to ride out from Boulder when the roads are open to visit and support the town.

We love sharing stories that illustrate how deeply “we live this stuff”. ?Hopefully you caught Kara Henry and Stephen Gartside’s . Their results and post-race comments are a source of Newton pride.

Newton: Describe your experience at the Leadville 100?

Kara Henry: Looking back, I’ll tell you I had a blast the whole day…but during the race it was a different story.

I definitely had a few moments of ‘WHAT AM I DOING??’ but luckily those were few and far between. I had an awesome crew who bullied me out of every aid station and never let me sit down. It’s because of that alone that I ran an hour faster than my goal.

Stephen Gartside: For me, the Leadville 100 has been a new challenge after years of road marathons. You can’t beat the big open country that makes up the 100-mile route. It gives you some road and plenty of trail, with all kinds of elevation. I find that quite the challenge.

The day unfolded with 50 miles of pretty easy running, then the 50-mile trip home with pacers, which goes all night. It’s kind of like a party with everyone out there running, pacing and volunteering.? My kind of party and it takes more mentally than just about anything else you can cram into a day.

What was your highest high?

KH: Absolutely hammering the last mile when I realized I could get under 24 hours. Actually, the reason I started pushing was because I saw what I thought was another female racer in front of me…I even made my pacers be super quiet so I could sneak up on ‘her’. When we got close I realized it was a dude with long blonde dreadlocks. I was bummed but at least it got me moving.

SG: The highest high is when you know you are done with Hope Pass. Or, anytime a good song hits the iPod as you down some fresh caffeine.?Of course, seeing that finish line is pretty sweet.

What was your lowest low?

KH: I hate climbing Hope Pass at mile 55 more than anything ever. HATE IT. I told my pacer to stop talking and ‘get me off this f**#$ing mountain.’ (Sorry Thom)

SG: The lowest low for me in 2013 was losing everything in my stomach at mile 63.? Thank goodness I bounced back pretty fast, which is what you learn running ultras. You can come back from a low point!

What would you tell someone who is thinking of running an ultra?

KH: Don’t. Just kidding…I would tell them to find a training partner. I had so much fun training for Leadville this year because I had a great group to run with. Last year I trained on my own and too many hours on the trails alone is NOT good for your social skills.

SG: If you are starting out with ultras my advice is slow down and you will be amazed at how far you can travel.? Find friends that share your interests and thus the journey. The Leadville 100 for me each year is more like a 6-month journey of getting ready, leading up to the actual race day.

If we asked you the day after the race, would you have said you would run it again?

KH: Yep! Because I’m a dummy and apparently a masochist.

SG: After 3 straight years at the Leadville 100, I may need a few years off which means probably returning as a volunteer or pacer for at least 2014-15.

What about now, two weeks later?

KH: Now I’m thinking that I definitely won’t run it next year, but I’ll definitely do it again. I’d like to try a 100 closer to sea level.

Editor’s Note: If Kara has lead you to believe that her recovery is all about pizza and beer, she has you fooled. Kara is currently running from hut to hut in the Alps in preparation for the U.S. 100 Mile Champs this winter. Shhh…don’t tell her that we told you!

airjordans and Red Coyote Running and FitnessThe Running Fro

If you’re headed to Oklahoma City be sure to check out this running hot spot.

Jon and Burke Beck have both been running since high school. They ran Division 3 in college and worked in running stores after they graduated—Burke, near Washington, DC and Jon, in Rochester, New York. The two met, in San Diego, where Jon relocated to work for a larger running company and Burke had moved to work at another running store. From San Diego, they moved to Portland, where they continued to work in the industry. Together, the young couple talked about someday owning their own running store. Maybe when they retired. They didn’t imagine it would happen now, let alone in Burke’s hometown of Oklahoma City.

“Burke always said she would never move back after she left for college,” says Jon. But when the couple headed back for a quick weekend trip to see family, they visited a local running store and were disappointed in the quality of service and running expertise. The seed was planted. “Burke’s dad said ‘it’s a great time to open a business in Oklahoma City,’” explains Jon, and the seed was watered.

But it was true. A lot of companies, were moving headquarters to Oklahoma City and there was a new demographic of young professionals in the city. ?By the end of their weekend visit, the couple had checked out the local competition, picked out possible store locations and said, “Let’s do it.” Soon after, they lined up funding. In August of 2009, they moved back to Oklahoma. In March of 2010, they opened their store, Red Coyote Running and Fitness (named after their dog “Pancho,” who happens to look like a red coyote).

Seeking innovative products that matched their focus on quality, Red Coyote became the first to offer Newton in Oklahoma City, a feat they’re proud of. “I was running at the lake and I saw 15 people running, five were wearing Newton shoes. It makes me smile because we opened Newton here, and we’re the ones who sell it,” says Burke. But the couple credits Newton for laying the groundwork. “When we had our grand opening, Newton was the only brand that came out for it, which showed us their commitment. Timmy came and he took customers out for runs in the shoes.” She adds, “When we opened, people hadn’t heard about them. But we’ve had staff on board from the beginning and bringing them out to customers. They’re not just for elite runners. You can bring them out for anyone.

“I think word of mouth helped us grow the brand. People have such a different experience in Newton, they really love it and they tell their friends, ‘you’ve got to try these shoes.’ It’s been an easy sell for us.”

The “easy” part is matched by the effort and passion the Becks bring to their store and the running community. It’s been a busy three years. Aside from opening the store in March 2010, they were married in May of 2010 and had a son in March of 2013. At the end of March, they moved into an expanded new location. Looking back on the whirlwind of the past three years, Jon says, “Oklahoma was very under-served or untapped. There were a lot of people running. We have one of the biggest marathons in April every airjordans year, but there weren’t a lot of events and groups or opportunities to get together to have a fun run.” Furthermore, no one was doing learn to run or training groups.

Jon and Burke began to sponsor events as well as host training groups at the store. “We started the newbie program and that has just taken over. First, it was 50 people twice a year, now it’s over 200 and it’s a 10-week program. It’s booming. All of our groups are growing and we’re seeing other training groups and social groups spawning from that.” Their Pack Pint Runs—a run followed by beer—every Thursday night are also popular.

Burke adds, “Oklahoma doesn’t have a very developed elite running community, but there are a lot of new runners and people just getting into the sport and the community is really organizing. I would attribute it to that younger professional group looking for something to do. And now, we’re getting family and kids, too.”

The store’s fast-growing popularity has not gone unnoticed. Outside magazine wrote about the Thursday night run and Competitor magazine named the Red Coyote one of The Best 50 Stores in the US (an honor considering the magazine rigorously evaluates 1,000 running stores). It also was nominated by Competitor with three other stores for Best Running Store of the Year, and was the youngest store ever to be nominated for this accolade.

Of the community support, Jon says, “We have been surprised by how much the community has come out to support us in only 3 years. The community rallied around us and what we’ve done to support them and they have come to support us.” Burke adds, “There was a niche to fill, but Oklahoma has a friendly group [in the running business], and from what we can tell, everyone is up. The growth that we have helped in the community has helped them as well.” Run on Oklahoma!

Dialog between Bella and Chuck (otherwise known as Chuck The Dog)

Bella: So Chuck I hear we’re going to be the first co-dogs of Newton, pretty exciting right?? I’d say we’re pioneers like Newton Running shoes.

Chuck: dog dog dog dog dog dog,? I’m Chuck The Dog, squirrel, bike, car, butterfly.

Bella: CHUCK! Focus!

Chuck:? Sorry, you know I distracted easily and just want to be friends with everyone.? In fact it’s pretty well known that I will do anything for a scratch behind the ears.

Bella:? I do know that, but few people know that you were unofficially banned from the office for a little while after strolling into the office of Jerry Lee, co-founder and CEO, and peeing on his desk.? This is true isn’t it?

Chuck:? I can not lie, this is true.? But I’m from Southern California and everyone knows things are a little more laid back there!? The truth is I’m a little devil and cannot be trusted.? In fact I get by solely on dashing good looks and devilish charm.

Bella:? I on the other hand am completely the opposite.? People call me sassy, emotional and standoffish.? The truth is though that I had a rough start with life, but things are getting better and I’m really starting to like visits to the office.

Chuck:? It’s true.? Like everyone, running makes things better and since we’ve been hitting the trails you boss me around less and aren’t quite such a bratty little sister.

Bella:? Thank you, I think?

Chuck: You’re welcome.? So what else should we tell these people about how awesome we are?? We do lead pretty incredible lives.

Bella:? We do, we’ve both run 100+ mile weeks, we both like to chase cows and after reading a number of the dog blogs that came before us I’m quite proud to say that neither of us are afraid of thunder.

Chuck: It’s true, thunder aint got nothing on us!? Plus both of our owners travel a lot for work so we’re constantly getting to have sleepovers, houseguests and meet new friends.

Bella:? I think you like hanging out with new people a little more than me but I know what you’re saying!? Well, it’s been great chatting with all these wonderful folks out there but I think it’s time that I head back underneath ?thedeck for a nap and I’m sure there is a butterfly or shiny reflection for you to chase…..Chuck! Get back here and say 2014airjordan.com goodbye to everyone….The shadow will still be there in a minute!

Chuck: Ahhhhh!? Sorry, thanks so much everyone for spending some time with us and next time you come bring food.? Seriously, we’ll eat anything, people food, dog food the neighbor’s cat/rabbit or guinea pig food.? Even something that just looks like food we’ll eat it.

Bella:? Thanks everyone and run strong!

air jordan shoes and Giving Back To Kids In KauaiThe Running

In the last two years of visiting the island of Kauai and winning the Kauai Marathon I felt a connection to the island.? In 2011, I stayed in a family’s guest bedroom and felt like I was a member of the family. I could not afford to stay in a hotel so this was the most affordable place I could find off of AirBnB.com. This ended up being a “blessing in disguise” because I was able live like a local for a week.? Sadly, I noticed the poverty was prevalent across the island.? As a runner, I became immediately aware of the lack of proper shoes.? I learned that there was not a running specialty store on the island and many are therefore only able buy their shoes at K-Mart, Walmart, or Costco.? This year I wanted to make a positive difference to the island and I thought it would be very beneficial to get the kids on the island in Newton shoes.? If you’ve ever browsed the Newton Running Website, you’d find a??that highlights a lot of the great work being done across the world through Newton Running. When I proposed the idea to Newton, they liked the idea to donate shoes to the Kauai youths and I went to work with the Kauai Marathon to organize it.? The Kauai Marathon loved the plan and a few months later we had nearly 100 pairs of sizes for elementary and high school students shipped to Kauai.

This year was the first year the Kauai Marathon added Keiki (kid’s) races.? The toddler trot was for kids up for 4 years old (100m dash), the 4-7 age group will race 1/4 mile and the 8-12 age group will race the 1/2 mile.? The course was planned on a beautiful section of grass next to the Grand Hyatt. We also did a ‘fun run’ on a dirt cane road near the Grand Hyatt.? In addition, Bart Yasso (CRO at Runner’s World), Dean Karnazes (ultramarathon man), Michael Wardian, and myself would be at the expo for presentations and Q&A.? Since the high school runners rarely have the opportunity to learn about running, this was a great opportunity to get the high school kids excited for cross country season. The big goal of the two weeks: get kids inspired to run and live a healthy lifestyle while providing shoes to the kids that need them.

The Kauai Marathon decided to make a $500 donation to the school that brought in the most participants to the Keiki races.? This was publicized and the marathon public relations director Robin Jumper went to work on organizing the elementary schools for me to give a presentation.? I gave presentation to full school assemblies at four elementary schools and ran with three high school cross country teams. The goal was to get the kids excited to run the Keiki races, inform them what running is all about, and to share my experiences traveling across the US and the world. I learned that kids are very brave and love to ask questions.? Some of the questions I received were…

“What the longest you’ve ever run?”

“How many medals do you have?”

“How many race have you won?”

“Have you ever raced Usain Bolt?”

When asked if I have ever raced Usain Bolt, my response was “No, but I guarantee that if he shows up on Sunday I can beat him in the marathon!!”

On Wednesday I had a meeting with the mayor where he was shocked at the generosity.? He said that I was his “braddah” and I was blessed for helping with the kids. He explained how the island is building bike and walking paths to give kids and parents the opportunity to walk or bike to school/work.? He was hopeful that the Kauai Marathon youth program and Newton Running would inspire more kids to lead a healthy lifestyle. ?This meeting with the mayor lead to a??that spread the word about the Kauai Marathon Youth Program and Newton shoes donation.

On Saturday morning, the course that race director Bob Craver and I designed, was fortunate to have an impressive 171 kids running around it with their parents and spectators cheering them on! To put that number into perspective, I talked to all schools within a half hour drive and that was about 750 kids less than 13 years old. Some of the kids came from the mainland, but that’s still over 10% of the keiki’s came from local elementary schools! I spent the morning cheering on the kids and taking pictures with them and their parents. It was a fantastic morning and a very successful event. I took so many pictures with families where I had spoke to the kids at the schools. My favorite was the registration form that came back saying they signed up because the daughter heard me speak in school. A picture says a 1,000 words so here are a few gems mostly from Jo Evans of Dakine Images of the event…

All Keiki races were led by a giant rooster. Yes, he is undefeated (121-0 in fact) in his air jordan shoes career leading keiki races.

When I walked back to my room and laid down after the event, all I could think about was how incredible this event was. ?This was by far the most rewarding experience in my life. ?Immediately I started thinking… “How can I get more kids to participate? ?How do I help more kids have proper footwear? ?How do I inspire more kids to run and lead a healthy lifestyle? ?How in the world do I properly thank the Kauai Marathon and Newton Running for allowing me to be a part of this incredible experience? ?How do I spread the word to other runners about what an amazing family event the Kauai Marathon weekend is? How do we get more high school kids in Kauai to do cross country and participate in the events?

The next morning was the Kauai Marathon and my turn to run.

The next morning was the Kauai Marathon and my turn to run.? I woke up at 2:45AM, had breakfast, and was browsing the newspaper to kill time.? I found a ‘letter to the editor’ from one of the high school coaches who applauded me for being a role model for young kids. At that point I knew that I couldn’t lose the race.? After speaking to the kids about setting goals, working hard towards your goal, and then the joy of sharing your success with others, I knew I had to be a living example for them. Two hours, twenty-one minutes, thirty-three seconds, and 26.2 miles later I achieved my goal of winning the race and setting a new course record.? I was motivated by the dozens of handmade signs on the course that said “Go Tyler” and the number of volunteers that cheered me on by name.

Pomaika’i is the hawaiian word for good fortune/good luck.? When I was doing my last long run on the island before the race a white owl flew in front of me for nearly a mile.? The owl is a symbol of pomaika’i and the white owl is the rarest of all.? Without the fear of sounding cheesy, Newton Running is going to experience a lot of pomaika’i for the generosity this year.? Thank you all for letting me be a part of it!

airjordan.com and Weathering the Storm with Triathlete Chris

The rains began the week of September 9 in Colorado, and they did not stop. By Wednesday evening, residents in the small town of Lyons, Colorado (with a population of just over 2,000) were being asked to evacuate their homes. Among those living in Lyons were triathlete, Chris Legh, with his wife and two daughters, who split their time between the small town and their native country, Australia. At this point, Legh was just one month out from competing in the 35th Annual Ironman World Championship—a race he has said will be his last as a career triathlete.

As the severity of the flood revealed itself, Legh’s first reaction was to forget about Kona and to just help out. But as the National Guard moved into help, residents were asked to leave. There wasn’t much they could do. In Boulder, the roads for riding and trails for running, were now damaged and closed, and many swimming facilities were shutdown. This was no longer an ideal place to train. Legh and his family went first to a friend’s place in Vail, Colorado, before deciding that their best move was to go straight to Kona. We caught up with him in between training in Kona.

Can you tell us about Lyons and the flood?

Our house was better off than most people. For us, it wasn’t a really bad situation, but we realized we were stuck in town and couldn’t get out. A lot of people in town were really messed up. Main Street survived quite well, but the two main businesses that were hit hard (The Fork and St. Vrain Market, Deli & Bakery) are owned by two of our really good friends. We lived in Lyons for 8 years and we were there before the market and the Fork were upgraded. They are iconic places in town.

Everyone has to deal with mortgages and make sure their businesses survive. We just learned that the Montessori School our youngest daughter goes to will be shutdown for good. And our other daughter’s school has been temporarily moved to Longmont.

What were your thoughts on leaving?

I hated it. I knew people needed help. I almost lost my motivation to train because I wanted to help. But airjordan.com the only thing really that made it easier to leave was when I realized I couldn’t do a lot, we pretty much had to leave. It wasn’t possible to stay. But we all hated leaving our street and our town. I love the community.

What were your options?

Initially we went up to Vail. We had an option to stay up there and figure out what we were going to do. We were very lucky. Then we decided to head to Kona. I almost didn’t want to tell people I was going to Hawaii because it really doesn’t seem that important right now. But since I couldn’t help, I figured I might as well go do my little race.

Why is this race a big one for you?

It’s likely this is going to be my last race. I mean, it’s probably the last time I will call it my career in a sense, in terms of it being my occupation. I’ve been racing professionally for 22 years, I’ll always do something. I’ll never stop competing in something. But in terms of it being my occupation, this is going to be my last race.

Hawaii was the attraction for me to get into the sport. I had the itch to come back and race it one last time. Luckily, Melbourne Ironman went well for me. Then I did Coeur d’Alene, Calgary, Lake Stevens, I just had to chase points for a couple of weeks.

Pulmonary edema has limited your racing, how are you feeling about it?

No one can give me an answer. I can be racing as hard as possible or by myself and it can happen. In the Melbourne Ironman earlier this year it didn’t happen. No one can give me an answer. It’s happened everywhere with no correlation to altitude. At Vail, I’m fine. It’s bizarre to know there’s a good chance you can’t reach your potential. I’ve raced long enough to accept it if it happens. Fingers crossed it doesn’t.

What are your expectations for Kona?

If I have the problems I’ve had in the past, it won’t be an ideal ending. If I’m racing well, I’ll have a smile on my face. Then I’ll walk away having enjoyed being here. I’m at a point in my career where I enjoy it and realize there is no real consequence in my performance. It’s a nice place to be. I’m sitting here now in Kona and I love it. I’ve been here and hated it.

So, if Kona is your last race, will you return to Lyons?

We were enjoying Colorado, but that’s the shame of it. We’re from Melbourne and Lyons was my one chance to live in a small town. We’ll go back to Lyons after the race, if we’re able to get back to Lyons. We’ll pack and fly home to Australia.? We’ll come back next year, sooner rather than later and finish off the school year.

But going back to Australia and the beach isn’t a bad option.

Do you have any words for Colorado right now?

I hope things improve. I know a lot of the family situations aren’t fantastic. I hope the businesses can survive and we can have our great little town back. More people need to ride out from Boulder when the roads are open to visit and support the town.

onitsuka tiger mexico 66 deluxe blue and Twice As Nice!The R

On September 26, it was a cold morning in Lake Tahoe as Ironman participants entered the water. A fog hovered over the lake as warm air hit cool and frost covered the bike seats. Perfect racing conditions, according to Chris McDonald, who crossed the line in first place in 8:55.14, capturing his 6th?Ironman victory. Lake Tahoe is a tough course and winning it is worth its own accolade, but what makes McDonald’s win all the more impressive is that just 28 days earlier, on August 25, he garnered a win at Ironman Louisville, making him the first triathlete to win back-to-back Ironman races.

We caught up with McDonald, recovering at his home in Austin, Texas before he heads to Kona to cheer on his peers. He won’t be racing Hawaii this year, but it’s on his radar for next season.

Could you describe these races? They were very different.

Both are strength courses. For Tahoe, there are a lot of people who say it’s too hard. I think it’s one of the most picturesque Ironman courses I’ve ever done out of all of the North American races. You have the two climbs, and when you’re at the top, you look out and you get this full view of Lake Tahoe. And then the finish is in Squaw Valley and you run up through the village, with this big stone face that is the ski hill. It’s beautiful.

Louisville, it’s just the place where I won my first IM and it’s my home away from home. Winning means a lot because I’ve won it 3 times and I know the town well. I know the restaurants and people recognize you, so you feel good.

The low temp in Louisville was 15 degrees warmer than the high in Tahoe. Louisville was 90+ degrees. The low was 75. I think the low in Tahoe it was recorded at 29 degrees. There was frost and ice from the dew on my saddle on my bike when I got out of the water. They forecast it to get up to 70, but it never did, the clouds never broke off. The water was 63 degrees—it was beautiful. It was twice the air temperature. But because of that there was a thick layer of steam on the water.

What’s significant about the double win?

I have tried to do it twice before, because no one had done it. I tried in 2008 to do it in Louisville and Wisconsin. I won Wisconsin, but I came second in Louisville. I tried in 2011. I won Louisville, but I was second at Revolution 3 Cedar Point. This year, when I saw the date for Lake Tahoe, I thought ‘I have to do this race.’ It’s bound to be freezing cold. It’s above 6,000 feet at altitude. I wanted to do it for those reasons. I had raced in Louisville four times. I thought, ‘I’ll go back and try to get that title back and go to Tahoe,’ even though I had onitsuka tiger mexico 66 deluxe blue never been to that race. I was motivated especially once I won Louisville again. Every time I’ve done two races close together, I generally perform better in the second one.

I was happy to get two Ironman wins in a year, let alone so close. I love the fact I was able to do it, but it’s not like I ticked the box and said I’ve done everything now. I’m just as motivated for races I might choose to do for the end of the year. And what I might do next year now that I have a jump start on points for Kona next year. I like to race. It keeps me satisfied.

After winning Louisville, did you have any trouble motivating so quickly for Tahoe?

No. Because I knew no one had ever won IMs back-to-back, which was motivating. And, I was able to race Louisville my way. I’m not cocky, but I wanted to be able to not run too hard, so I could save myself for Tahoe. I got a good lead on the bike in Louisville, so I could hold a little bit in reserve. I like to race a lot, I haven’t raced a lot this year, it was just the way the year panned out and I didn’t travel that much. So, I was motivated to go race. That’s what I do all of this training for. I love the training, but I love to race more.

What about Kona?

I’m ready to race in Kona next year. I don’t want to go unless I feel like I can legitimately race it. I didn’t plan 2012 to accumulate points in the back end of the year. The way the KPR points work, if you don’t have 2-3000 points in the bag before the end of the previous year you’re hooped. As fair as it is, they heavily weight it for people who do Kona to go back the following year.

For Hawaii, you have to be so mentally fresh and willing to suffer if you want to do well. It’s more about being mentally switched on than physically. Everyone is fit and ready, it’s who is prepared to suffer mentally.

What was your most satisfying race this season?

The best satisfaction out of any race would have to be Coeur D’Alene. You have to have a little bit of luck go your way to win. I had that in Louisville and Tahoe. But in Coeur D’Alene, I got a flat and was 23 minutes at the side of the road before I got a spare. I was 28 minutes back on the bike by the time I was done. I was well out of the race, but then I broke 2.50 for the first time in the marathon. I had a good solid marathon and ran back into 5th place, which was personally satisfying for me.

What’s on deck for next year?

Ironman Texas, maybe 70.3 Monterey and 70.3 Galvaston, and then a break to get married [Newton note: CONGRATULATIONS!]. Hopefully I’ll have enough points for Kona. There are so many races now you have to really pick and choose because you could race every other weekend, year-round if you wanted. It’s hard to pick your schedule.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 shoes and A chat with 8x Ironman Wo

With the 35th Annual Ironman World Championship just weeks away, we reached out to former 8x Ironman World Champion, Paula Newby-Fraser, to find out how the world of triathlon has evolved and to get her advice and predictions for this year.

How has triathlon changed from when you competed?

I’m not sure the formula is different, but it looks a lot different from when I competed simply because there are more athletes competing in triathlon and a lot more opportunities to race. It was very easy to narrow down the competition when I competed because there were only a handful of us.

When there were only a handful of triathlons, you simply went and did the big races. Now, the challenge is to pick and choose a few and focus on just doing well at those. But because there are so many races, there’s a lot more noise out there. I think it’s harder to say this is what I’m going to do and ignore the noise.

Did you have a formula you followed each year?

Yes. I would say okay I will do this, this, and this race, the rest will be local, shorter events and then I will go to Kona. And then the next year I would hit repeat. I would do shorter races, probably 2-3 longer international races and then go back to Kona. You can do that now, but there are distractions and opportunities and more athletes bidding for the top positions. There is a lot more talent in the field than in the late 80s and early 90s.

Has the landscape changed for training?

The landscape has changed significantly in terms of training. There seems to be more of a trend to do more training. Now, there are these communities, teams and clubs that get together and go into training camp a lot and in Boulder there is this hardcore group that just trains and trains and trains indefinitely for months on end. There are a lot of athletes who spend a lot of time training and I think one thing that goes on with camps and coaching and social media, and the evolution of everything around triathlon, is it sucks a lot of athletes into higher, faster, stronger, more, more, more. And the exposure to one another through clubs or social media keeps everyone pushing the envelope a little bit more and a little bit more.

Certainly in the late 80s and early 90s it was very insular, you could pick your path and it was easy to avoid getting pulled out of it. It was more rumor and story if you heard someone doing something. You couldn’t track someone on a training ride app where you can go and literally see what people are doing. Apps and social media can allow for a certain amount of overload and questioning. When you were insular, you decided what you were going to do and you got on and you did it. I didn’t spend a lot of time second-guessing what I was doing.

Do you have any predictions for this year?

It was interesting watching the 70.3 championships. The field was so big, but when all was said and done, it was the same people at the top. I don’t think you will see a significant change—history is always a good guide. Usually, there is one real breakthrough performance. Maybe there will be one or two new faces in the top 10, but the top contenders are consistent, and smart, and focused, that’s why they are at the top. This is barring any significant events—there are always a few injuries or unforeseen circumstances.

What advice would you give these Ironman athletes? ?

To me when people ask if I can give them my one piece of advice, I tell them it is all in how you handle the chaos of your mind. If you can direct that into the current moment of what you’re doing, it can definitely calm a lot of the chaos that goes on around competing in triathlon. There is a lot of the meditative process in training, but when it comes to competing people’s minds get a bit scrambled and chaotic. They forget that they have trained in the heat, or trained through good and bad situations. People get lost in races. So don’t get lost in the race, know that you have the capabilities to handle challenges the same way you have in practice. Everything becomes so magnified in competing, Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 shoes when it doesn’t need to be at all.

What’s it like for you to be a spectator at Kona?

I love to go to Kona. I love to watch it now. There’s a certain predictability, but always a certain excitement. It’s always my favorite race to watch. There is so much anticipation and somehow there is always a little bit of drama where you see such an acute level of excitement. It reflects the fact of what the sport has to offer, you’re watching the best athletes and physical talent and mental capacity. The women’s race last year was epic. It wasn’t a surprise to see the women fighting for it, they are the women who you expect to be up there, but the way it all unfolded was so interesting. It’s always by far my favorite race to watch.

Do you ever wish you were still out there competing?

I stopped wishing quite a number of years ago. I know what it took to be out there, year in and year out. I am inspired when I see athletes, but I don’t want to push myself that hard. I know how hard it is and I know how hard they’re pushing.

I don’t consider what I do training. I consider it more active lifestyle exercise. I work out every day, but there is nothing in particular that I do or that I’m training for. I always feel like I’m fit enough to jump into a half marathon or something like that. Being fit will always be a part of my life. But now, I’m just training for life.

When you look back, do you have a favorite race?

I don’t know that there was one, I was very blessed at having a number of races that were as flawless as you can get when I went to Kona. I look back and I am proud of my career. There were a lot more positive than there were negative, that’s a great batting average to have. And, I don’t say it was a sacrifice—that means you gave something up. I was doing what I wanted to do, it was my career and I loved it.

Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 and Meet The Dogs Of Newton – We

Dialog between Bella and Chuck (otherwise known as Chuck The Dog)

Bella: So Chuck I hear we’re going to be the first co-dogs of Newton, pretty exciting right?? I’d say we’re pioneers like Newton Running shoes.

Chuck: dog dog dog dog dog dog,? I’m Chuck The Dog, squirrel, bike, car, butterfly.

Bella: CHUCK! Focus!

Chuck:? Sorry, you know I distracted easily and just want to be friends with everyone.? In fact it’s pretty well known that I will do anything for a scratch behind the ears.

Bella:? I do know that, but few people know that you were unofficially banned from the office for a little while after strolling into the office of Jerry Lee, co-founder and CEO, and peeing on his desk.? This is true isn’t it?

Chuck:? I can not lie, this is true.? But I’m from Southern California and everyone knows things are a little more laid back there!? The truth is I’m a little devil and cannot be trusted.? In fact I get by solely on dashing good looks and devilish charm.

Bella:? I on the other hand am completely the opposite.? People call me sassy, emotional and standoffish.? The truth is though that I had a rough start with life, but things are getting better and I’m really starting to like visits to the office.

Chuck:? It’s true.? Like everyone, running makes things better and since we’ve been hitting the trails you boss me around less and aren’t quite such a bratty little sister.

Bella:? Thank you, I think?

Chuck: You’re welcome.? So what else should we Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 tell these people about how awesome we are?? We do lead pretty incredible lives.

Bella:? We do, we’ve both run 100+ mile weeks, we both like to chase cows and after reading a number of the dog blogs that came before us I’m quite proud to say that neither of us are afraid of thunder.

Chuck: It’s true, thunder aint got nothing on us!? Plus both of our owners travel a lot for work so we’re constantly getting to have sleepovers, houseguests and meet new friends.

Bella:? I think you like hanging out with new people a little more than me but I know what you’re saying!? Well, it’s been great chatting with all these wonderful folks out there but I think it’s time that I head back underneath ?thedeck for a nap and I’m sure there is a butterfly or shiny reflection for you to chase…..Chuck! Get back here and say goodbye to everyone….The shadow will still be there in a minute!

Chuck: Ahhhhh!? Sorry, thanks so much everyone for spending some time with us and next time you come bring food.? Seriously, we’ll eat anything, people food, dog food the neighbor’s cat/rabbit or guinea pig food.? Even something that just looks like food we’ll eat it.

Bella:? Thanks everyone and run strong!

Discount best asics running shoes and Masters of MileageThe

We love sharing stories that illustrate how deeply “we live this stuff”. ?Hopefully you caught Kara Henry and Stephen Gartside’s . Their results and post-race comments are a source of Newton pride.

Newton: Describe your experience at the Leadville 100?

Kara Henry: Looking back, I’ll tell you I had a blast the whole day…but during the race it was a different story.

I definitely had a few moments of ‘WHAT AM I DOING??’ but luckily those were few and far between. I had an awesome crew who bullied me out of every aid station and never let me sit down. It’s because of that alone that I ran an hour faster than my goal.

Stephen Gartside: For me, the Leadville 100 has been a new challenge after years of road marathons. You can’t beat the big open country that makes up the 100-mile route. It gives you some road and plenty of trail, with all kinds of elevation. I find that quite the challenge.

The day unfolded with 50 miles of pretty easy running, then the 50-mile trip home with pacers, which goes all night. It’s kind of like a party with everyone out there running, pacing and volunteering.? My kind of party and it takes more mentally than just about anything else you can cram into a day.

What was your highest high?

KH: Absolutely hammering the last mile when I realized I could get under 24 hours. Actually, the reason I started pushing was because I saw what I thought was another female racer in front of me…I even made my pacers be super quiet so I could sneak up on ‘her’. When we got close I realized it was a dude with long blonde dreadlocks. I was bummed but at least it got me moving.

SG: The highest high is when you know you are done with Hope Pass. Or, anytime a good song hits the iPod as you down some fresh caffeine.?Of course, seeing that finish line is pretty sweet.

What was your lowest low?

KH: I hate climbing Hope Pass at mile 55 more than anything ever. HATE IT. I told my pacer to stop talking and ‘get me off this f**#$ing mountain.’ (Sorry Thom)

SG: The lowest low for me in 2013 was losing everything in my stomach at mile 63.? Thank goodness I bounced back pretty fast, which is what you learn running ultras. You can come back from a low point!

What would you tell someone who is thinking of running an ultra?

KH: Don’t. Just kidding…I would tell them to find a training partner. I had so much fun training for Leadville this year because I had a great group to run with. Last year I trained on my own and too many hours on the trails alone is NOT good for your social skills.

SG: If you are starting out with ultras my advice is slow down and you will be amazed at how far you can travel.? Find friends that share your interests and thus the journey. The Leadville 100 for me each year is more like a 6-month journey of getting ready, leading up to the actual race day.

If we asked you the day after the race, would you have said you would run it again?

KH: Yep! Because I’m a dummy and apparently a masochist.

SG: After 3 straight years at the Leadville 100, I may need a few years off which means probably returning as a volunteer or pacer for at least 2014-15.

What about now, two weeks later?

KH: Now I’m thinking that I definitely won’t run it next year, but I’ll definitely do it again. I’d like to try a 100 closer to sea level.

Editor’s Note: If Kara has lead you to believe that her recovery is all about pizza Discount best asics running shoes and beer, she has you fooled. Kara is currently running from hut to hut in the Alps in preparation for the U.S. 100 Mile Champs this winter. Shhh…don’t tell her that we told you!

The truth is I’m a little devil and cannot be trusted.? In fact I get by solely on dashing good looks and devilish charm.</p><p>Bella:? I on the other hand am completely the opposite.? People call me sassy, emotional and standoffish.? The truth is though that I had a rough start with life, but things are getting better and I’m really starting to like visits to the office.</p><p>Chuck:? It’s true.? Like everyone, running makes things better and since we’ve been hitting the trails you boss me around less and aren’t quite such a bratty little sister.</p><p>Bella:? Thank you, I think?</p><p>Chuck: You’re welcome.? So what else should we Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 tell these people about how awesome we are?? We do lead pretty incredible lives.</p><p>Bella:? We do, we’ve both run 100+ mile weeks, we both like to chase cows and after reading a number of the dog blogs that came before us I’m quite proud to say that neither of us are afraid of thunder.</p><p>Chuck: It’s true, thunder aint got nothing on us!? Plus both of our owners travel a lot for work so we’re constantly getting to have sleepovers, houseguests and meet new friends.</p><p>Bella:? I think you like hanging out with new people a little more than me but I know what you’re saying!? Well, it’s been great chatting with all these wonderful folks out there but I think it’s time that I head back underneath ?thedeck for a nap and I’m sure there is a butterfly or shiny reflection for you to chase…..Chuck! Get back here and say goodbye to everyone….The shadow will still be there in a minute!</p><p>Chuck: Ahhhhh!? Sorry, thanks so much everyone for spending some time with us and next time you come bring food.? Seriously, we’ll eat anything, people food, dog food the neighbor’s cat/rabbit or guinea pig food.? Even something that just looks like food we’ll eat it.</p><p>Bella:? Thanks everyone and run strong!</p>

+<p>We love sharing stories that illustrate how deeply “we live this stuff”. ?Hopefully you caught Kara Henry and Stephen Gartside’s . Their results and post-race comments are a source of Newton pride.</p><p>Newton: Describe your experience at the Leadville 100?</p><p>Kara Henry: Looking back, I’ll tell you I had a blast the whole day…but during the race it was a different story.</p><p>I definitely had a few moments of ‘WHAT AM I DOING??’ but luckily those were few and far between. I had an awesome crew who bullied me out of every aid station and never let me sit down. It’s because of that alone that I ran an hour faster than my goal.</p><p></p><p>Stephen Gartside: For me, the Leadville 100 has been a new challenge after years of road marathons. You can’t beat the big open country that makes up the 100-mile route. It gives you some road and plenty of trail, with all kinds of elevation. I find that quite the challenge.</p><p>The day unfolded with 50 miles of pretty easy running, then the 50-mile trip home with pacers, which goes all night. It’s kind of like a party with everyone out there running, pacing and volunteering.? My kind of party and it takes more mentally than just about anything else you can cram into a day.</p><p></p><p>What was your highest high?</p><p>KH: Absolutely hammering the last mile when I realized I could get under 24 hours. Actually, the reason I started pushing was because I saw what I thought was another female racer in front of me…I even made my pacers be super quiet so I could sneak up on ‘her’. When we got close I realized it was a dude with long blonde dreadlocks. I was bummed but at least it got me moving.</p><p>SG: The highest high is when you know you are done with Hope Pass. Or, anytime a good song hits the iPod as you down some fresh caffeine.?Of course, seeing that finish line is pretty sweet.</p><p>What was your lowest low?</p><p>KH: I hate climbing Hope Pass at mile 55 more than anything ever. HATE IT. I told my pacer to stop talking and ‘get me off this f**#$ing mountain.’ (Sorry Thom)</p><p>SG: The lowest low for me in 2013 was losing everything in my stomach at mile 63.? Thank goodness I bounced back pretty fast, which is what you learn running ultras. You can come back from a low point!</p><p>What would you tell someone who is thinking of running an ultra?</p><p>KH: Don’t. Just kidding…I would tell them to find a training partner. I had so much fun training for Leadville this year because I had a great group to run with. Last year I trained on my own and too many hours on the trails alone is NOT good for your social skills.</p><p></p><p>SG: If you are starting out with ultras my advice is slow down and you will be amazed at how far you can travel.? Find friends that share your interests and thus the journey. The Leadville 100 for me each year is more like a 6-month journey of getting ready, leading up to the actual race day.</p><p></p><p>If we asked you the day after the race, would you have said you would run it again? </p><p>KH: Yep! Because I’m a dummy and apparently a masochist.</p><p>SG: After 3 straight years at the Leadville 100, I may need a few years off which means probably returning as a volunteer or pacer for at least 2014-15.</p><p></p><p>What about now, two weeks later? </p><p>KH: Now I’m thinking that I definitely won’t run it next year, but I’ll definitely do it again. I’d like to try a 100 closer to sea level.</p><p>Editor’s Note: If Kara has lead you to believe that her recovery is all about pizza Discount best asics running shoes and beer, she has you fooled. Kara is currently running from hut to hut in the Alps in preparation for the U.S. 100 Mile Champs this winter. Shhh…don’t tell her that we told you!</p><p></p><p></p>
